Quote #10
Another time, when as the shepherds did dispose/ To practise games… They for their Iudge did Pastorella chose… Then was the oaken crowne by Pastorell/ Giuen to Calidore, as his due right;/ But he, that did in courtesie excel/ Gaue it to Coridon, and said he wonne it well. (VI.ix.43-44)
This is how judgment goes down in the pastoral world: competition-style. It also pits the pastoral values of crowning the champion against Calidore's more courtly value of being "court"eous.
